The objectives of
Rotary Service to New Generation are to undertake projects and
activities that support the development of leadership
qualities, communication skills, elements of community and
global citizenship.
The following are some of the activities undertaken during the
year to assist in the development of our youth:
| 1. |
Talk
on "Crime Prevention Awareness"
On 29th January 2005, a talk on "Crime Prevention
Awareness" Was organized. It was well attended by
1,000 secondary school students (teenagers), 40 from
each of the 25 schools, members of the Royal Malaysian
Police, Rotarians, invited guests and family. The Guest
of Honour was our State Minister of Housing, Dato Sri
Abang Johari, also present were the Commissioner of
Police, Datuk Talip Jamal and Deputy Commissioner of
Police Abang Wahap Julai.
The objectives of the project were to address a very
important community need as highlighter by Rotary
International as Urban Concern, so as to reduce crime,
violence prevention through crime prevention awareness.
The participation and enthusiasm of the 1,000 students
will definitely contribute towards crime reduction and
instill and reinforce into the young teenage mind a
greater sense of civil mindedness and moral
responsibility. It may also attract them to venture into
this vocation in future.
